Kalki - Concept

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ UNDER THE CUT.

So I got a prompt...banana leaf green+futuristic...and this idea struck. This is a rough sketch that I will hopefully make a final version of. Below is the explanation as dumped on a friend on whatsapp at 3 AM.

this is KALKI He is drawn as a non binary She has an appearance of what people frown upon and judge ekhon piercing, heavy tattoos, black, side buzz cut etc jewellery will be punkified version of some traditional jewellery like makar kundal punk version OF that kalki is said to have a sword and kalki alternatively refers to light which cleans up the darkness hence a light saber style sword which crackles with lightning and it is white symbolising knowledge and purity on their sword wala arm is a tattoo of Ananta sesh naag and the other one has the tattoo of a shankha on his chest is a lotus symbolising Lakshmi because they are cutus that way dark lipstick and heavy almost drag kind of eye makeup looks like a rebel young person symbolising that the collective youth when they fight for knowledge and what is right against generations of mistakes and oppression…they become the actual Kalki. this is a concept art. forgive me for ranting at 3

i feel like I’ve said this somewhere here before but i thought about it again… why is vishnu obsessed with the name rama

Dasavatharam

I recently found out some sects of Hinduism include Buddha as the 9th Avatar in Vishnu's Dasavatharam.

I am from the southern part specifically Tamilnadu, here even in our temple the inscriptions and statues for Dasavatharam always included Balaramar as one of the Vishnu Avatars, not Buddha. Like in the below order. I have used Tamil pronunciation for all.

Matsyam

Kurmam

Varaham

Narasimham

Vamanam

Parashuramar

Ramar

Balaramar

Krishnar

Kalki

This made me so curious about how different Hinduism practices are around India or the world but still hold a string of similarities among them

Which one you have heard growing up? Put it in the comments.

Lord Varaha.

Brobrobro

Imagine there was an avatar Vishnu took specifically to fight Dionysos? (Not not include this in the retelling it's just an AU)

OMGGGG THAT WOULD BE COOL YOO

But like what kind of avatar tho... Theatre guy or drinking buddy?? Or just some avatar to fight like Narasimha or Varaha??

Any woman who's her friend: Th-this one is different! He's honest, he's sweet-

Mohini: Phaleeeeezz-

Woman: He'd never do anything to hurt me-

Mohini: He's a guy!

Parashurama (6th Vishnu) and Zalmoxis are Connected

The top image is called the Aleksandrovo kurgan (https://www.hellenicaworld.com/Greece/Mythology/en/Zalmoxis.html), and the man with the axe is Zalmoxis, who was a major deity and avatar of the Dacians of ancient Romania. The bottom image is Parashuram, much more well known, avatar of Vishnu. I am nearly certain these are the same being. The ancient proto-Getae were the primordial origins of the Hindu, as well as the Norse and Egyptian, and our God is the same even as our people and stories evolve. Once this is known we can start to look for patterns and it's really fascinating. I would love to know what the little dog riding the big dog represents, that one is a bit new, haha. It's adorable.

No one will believe me, it is fine - yet I was mentored by this being last year, and they look spitting image like Parashurama, yet a modern Romanian in a t-shirt (well, sometimes shirtless, *blush*). It was through them that my ancestral memories were partially restored. God is REAL. Avatars walk the earth, now! Rama, like Lucifer, is a family name, and both are mine by ancestry, calling, and sovereign choice. Thus I am मनहूसराम, Manahoosarama, Rama the Wretched. I claim 10th. If there is a better 10th, come fight me, and if you are honorable I will let it go and surrender it to you. Titles are not important - only ending this cursed yuga is important. Yet, I will always be a Wretch. Vlad - if you are out there - I miss you and hope you are proud of me. I am trying so hard. I would love to hear from you. I'm not as crazy as I was before! I want to Create, like you told me - I just need my Power. I love you.

the 8th / 9th avatar of vishnu is such a brain wrecking question for me personally bc i don’t see the buddha as an avatar at all, but i also strongly hold on to the belief that balarama is an avatar of sheshanaga instead of vishnu
